Mission Statement
The Department of Computer Science and Engineering carries out the mission of the School of Engineering and Computer Science by offering separate undergraduate majors in Computer, Science and Information Technology. The department also offers masters programs in Computer Science and Engineering, Embedded Systems, Information Systems Engineering and Software Engineering, and a doctoral program in Systems Engineering.
The overall mission of the School of Engineering and Computer Science is threefold:
- To provide high-quality undergraduate and graduate programs of instruction in engineering and computer science to prepare graduates for careers in the coming decades,
- To advance knowledge through basic and applied research in relevant branches of engineering and computer science, and
- To provide service to both the engineering profession and public of the State of Michigan.
In carrying out its mission the school will address the needs of the automotive and related industries in southeast Michigan for the:
- Education of engineers and computer scientists,
- Development of research programs and
- Fulfillment of the demands for professional service.
Due to the proximity of Oakland University to the large number of automotive related manufacturing companies in southeastern Michigan, the research interests of the faculty include a strong component of applied research. This research emphasizes product design, development and manufacturing in support of both large and small companies. In addition, the faculty are engaged in research projects in a wide variety of scholarly areas of engineering and computer science. more...
